Pucker up for International Kissing Day

Need an excuse to splurge on yet another new lipstick? Well here you have it. July the 6th is International Kissing Day and if that’s not a good enough reason to indulge in new lip products we don’t know what is! It’s scientifically proven that kissing relieves stress, builds immunity and even burns calories (6 per minute to be exact). So, whether it be a peck between friends or getting tongue tied with your partner, here’s a selection of the best kiss proof lipsticks that will last you all day, however you choose to celebrate.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips

When it comes to glam, Charlotte Tilbury always pulls through. Her Hollywood Lips collection inspired by the elegance of the silver screens, incorporates a range of ultra-modern liquid matte lipsticks to suit every occasion. Made with a weightless, long-wear formula these berry pinks and statement reds will give you a soft matte pigmented lip without the cracking. The hug applicator will glide to define and trace your lips, enhancing your natural curves for that red-carpet contour effect. Shop the product here

Both kiss-proof and transfer-proof the nourishing formula will leave your lips feeling smooth and hydrated without the need for touch ups. Shop the product here

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint

Raved about for a reason. Rihanna’s release of Fenty’s Stunna Lip Paint back in 2017 stirred up a storm.

The shade range incorporates bold purples, powerful reds and sublime nudes, perfect for every skin tone.
